This site is managed using ikiwiki.
## File locations
* `/usr/local/www/ikiwiki-repo.git/` : The bare Git repo for the site. (clone from here)
* `/usr/local/www/ikiwiki-srcdir/` : The checked out work for site generation.
* `/usr/local/www/www.dragonflybsd.org/` Static output from ikiwiki.
* Source is publically browsable at [gitweb.dragonflybsd.org](http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/).
* Configuration file is at `/usr/local/etc/ikiwiki.setup`.
* Page layouts are at `/usr/local/etc/ikiwiki-templates/` - page.tmpl is probably the one you want. These are just the overrides from /usr/local/share/ikiwiki/templates. This affects all pages; the sidebar menu is here.
* Stylesheet changes are in `/usr/local/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/local.css`.
* After modifying any of the templates or stylesheet info, regenerate the site with `ikiwiki --setup /usr/local/etc/ikiwiki.setup`.
* Add images by committing them to the repo.
## Upgrading
* Back up `/usr/local/www/ikiwiki-srcdir/`, `/usr/local/www/ikiwiki-repo.git/`, `/usr/local/share/ikiwiki/templates/`, and `/usr/local/etc/ikiwiki.setup`, just to be safe.
* Save `favicon.ico`, `local.css`, and `style.css` in `/usr/local/share/ikiwiki/basewiki/` separately. These will need to be restored after upgrade, as they're modified from what comes with the ikiwiki package. Hint: use /root/adm/ikiwiki-backup.
* Upgrade using dports.
* Run any ikiwiki transition commands mentioned in the release notes at http://ikiwiki.info/news/ .
* Check for any new plugins that could be enabled; place them in the ikiwiki.setup file.
* textproc/p5-Search-Xapian and textproc/xapian-omega is needed for the search engine, and the path to the omega CGI listed in ikiwiki.setup, though this should never be needed for a separate install unless rebuilding everything.
Ikiwiki was patched to make sure it would commit changes to git even when no commit message was added. In /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16/IkiWiki/Plugin/git.pm, change this around line 545:
# Force git to allow empty commit messages.
# (If this version of git supports it.)
my ($version)=`git --version` =~ /git version (.*)/;
if ($version ge "1.5.4") {
push @opts, '--cleanup=verbatim';
}
else {
$params{message}.=".";
}
to
$params{message}.="No commit message specified.";
## Feeds
* The sidebar on the main page displays recent headlines from the DragonFly BSD Digest.
* Pages are saved to /digest/ and displayed using an 'inline' statement. \[[!inline pages="internal(digest/*)" feeds="no" template="digestitem"]]
* The actual feed information is gathered using an aggregate command, kept here so that instructions and actions are in the same place.
* Don't remove the aggregate command from this page unless you have someplace else for it.
* Here's the command and output: [[!aggregate name="DragonFly Digest Feed" dir="digest"
feedurl="http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/feed"
url="http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/" updateinterval="15"
expireage="14" expirecount="20"]]
